Weird things like that.
Its an ASUS, running Windows 10, antivirus ESET, use Chrome as primary web app.
I have always had the configs set to sleep (or hibernate?
Its interchangeable to me) when I step away.
I dont use the laptop in public, so there are no privacy prefs needed other than my passcode.
I go to work, it sleeps.
In the last month or 2, this changed.
Every time I leave for more than like 30 minutes, the computer shuts down completely.
I have to re-open Chrome and Restore my browsing session.
This is definitely a quirky issue, but theres a slight silver lining to your problem.
Once there, scroll down a bit until you see the Additional power prefs link, and punch that.
This should solve your problem.
However, if all of these tweaks are already set to sleep, the plot thickens.
In this case, I think the issue is even quirkier.
Youll want to open up your rig Manager by typing that phrase after you hit the Start button.
Once there, expand your System Devices and look for an Intel Management Engine Interface.
If you find it, right-choose it, select Properties, and then choose the Power Management tab.
If not, this computer-within-a-computer might need an updated driver.
If your system doesnt find anything, you might have to downloadan updated driver from Inteland install it manually.
These are both options within the same Driver tab.
Well find the right digital NyQuil for your gear.
